Lost in Space
Verse 1
Who am I, if I am lost?
Time, you can’t price, but you can’t deny the cost
It’s my exhaust to right the wrongs of when I defy the laws
Of gravity, when I lift off, despite the thoughts
Of blasphemy – catastrophe blasting me rapidly
Into the inner galaxy where there’s actually
Nothing to grasp hold to, nothing that must hold true
And practically nothing that you won’t do
Huh, in that case, forget what they told you
The more we learn what it’s like to be born
Deformed and reborn, the more
You won’t be torn between doors, and be sure
You aren’t on a detour, as motherboard, your fam, and old man plead for
You to get with the program
You go stand your own land
I’ve never been with the program
Chorus
I’m lost in a world of my own
I’ve crossed, in the whirl of cyclones
I fought against the wind to search for my home
Why not? Bends begin to merge but I don’t
Know where to turn because I roam their high road ways which
I don’t face it’s hard to find those places
Of refuge I’d dwell then recues myself instead
I refuse to lose myself and lose my head
Verse 2
How can you be yourself when you don’t know who you are?
If you have to ask for help, then you know you’re too far
Go shoot through the stars to see, learn yearning
Departure, forgot to consider it’s a harder journey
Back, unless you’re not returning
Either way, you’ll never forget the scars you’re earning
On your face, so face it now while spacing out,
Pacing round, breaking down, no gaining ground without
Pain endowed, waiting “how long must I sustain in doubt?”
Maintaining it out where no one’s upstairs
Even if I cried, no one could hear
The screams, or the slow run of tears
So I don’t much care if my ass just stays
On the sofa – just there as I wait
To pass away
After all, I’m going nowhere fast they say
Verse 3
"Earth to Malik, Earth to Malik,
Where are you going? What do you seek?"
I don’t know just what to do
Oh, but once I do, you would be
The first to know, taken by the depths
Of the deep, side effects were irreversible
I invest in the need to critique the worlds by the best
But see the worst of both, burst bubble
The greenest grasses by the fence, they were for show
Yes, they were for sure, of course I should’ve known sooner
In order to go U-turn
To come home, after you stumble
Out on your own, it’s good to know you’ve hung on
To decide it’s wisest when I could buy into the likeness
Of identity crisis
Because my entity’s lifeless
(Final)
This is where I go
This where I stand
This is all I know
This is who I am
This is where I go
This where I stand
This is all I know
This is who I am
This is where I go
This where I stand
This is all I know
This is who I am
This is where I go
This where I stand
This is all I know
This is who I am
